Initially, they focused on manufacturing machines for various purposes (from machines that were used to dry fruits and vegetables , to the variety of plastic straws production and packaging lines, from machines that were sorting paper, to those that were converting paper, and many others), but with the time it became clear that we Paper Tissue Converting Industry is the one that will benefit the most from 9.
